1 answer

To simplify the expression \( 67c - 59d - 12c + 13d \), we will group the terms involving \( c \) and the terms involving \( d \).

  1. Combine the \( c \) terms: \[ 67c - 12c = (67 - 12)c = 55c \]

  2. Combine the \( d \) terms: \[ -59d + 13d = (-59 + 13)d = -46d \]

Putting it all together, we have: \[ 55c - 46d \]
